GERONIMO, Natchez, Mangus and the IA
other numbering Apaches now do a daily
stint of fatigue duty about Fort Pickens,
under guard from the I'd Art. They wear
the Government fatigue uniform, and WELD
the rake and hoe and trundle the wheelbar-
row with about as much industry and cheer
fulness as the white prisoners. They are
terribly afraid of the sea, and for long
time none of them would go near the water.
The dashing waves, and the stories that are
told them Of the man-eating sharks are
enough to keep up this terror. GerOnimo's
two wives, and those of the others, with
their children, are confined at another fort,
and one of the means of discipline is the
hope held out to the bucks that if they be-
have well they will be allowed to have their

MARRIAGE OF JOHN A. LOGAN, JR.


The wedding-bells r~7g their sweetest
peals at Youngstown, o., last week, in cele-
bratiOn of as happy o union as the heavens
ever smiled on.
John A. Logan, jr, the only son of the
dead General, was then united in marriage
to Miss Edith, daughter of Hon. Chauncy
Andrews, Of Youngstown, gentleman who
has risen to unusual wealth and honor by
bis own unaided exertions. He was warm
friend and admirer of Gen. Logan, and the
two men resembled each other very much in
sterling strength of character and indomita-
bic energy. Mr.. Andrews is in business and
manufacturing what Gen. Logan was in war
and craftsmanship.
The young people became acquainted dur
ing the intimate intercourse between their
parents, and love speedily ripened under
these pleasant auspices. 1t was very natural
that it should, for both are of unusual
attractiveness. Young Logan is handsome,
manly, and of engaging manners, while his
bride is lady of superior charms of person
and character, enhanced by all the accom-
plishments that thorough education can
give.
The union has been regarded with unusual
favor and interest all over the country, and
very pleasant comments are made upon it
everywhere.
The event is peculiarly gratifying to the
veterans, all of whom have deep and abiding
interest in the happiness of every member of
the family of their idolized chieftain.
Innumerable hearts swell with hope that
the union just celebrated may be as complete
in every sense, as beautiful to contemplate,
and as rich in all that adorns and ennobles
welded life as that one celebrated 80 years
ago between John A. Logan and Mary s.
Cunningham.
So mote it be.

THE Mc.gINNyILLE RAILROAD.

Some of the exchanges coming to the Of
flee of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE have been
inclined to condemn the action of the Rep
representatives who voted for the passage of
the bill for relief of the McMinnville Rail-
road, and to denounce this measure as a
rebel claim. THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
having been requested to examine the bill
and give its views, now proceeds to do so.
We take only the evidence before Congress
as the basis, and find that this road was built
and in 1861 owned principally by Northern
men. The President and Directors were all
outspoken Union men, and opposed the
secession Of Tennessee.
When that section of the country was oc-
cupied by the rebels they took possession Of
the road, and when they were driven South
took away all the rOlling-stOck-in fact,
gutted the shops, doing all damage possible
to the property of the yankees"
When the Union forces were in possession
of this country, Gen. Thomas ordered q por-
tion of the rails taken from the road to re-
place rails destroyed on the Chattanooga &
Nashville Road, and had his Engineer make
an estimate of the value of the rails so
takeh, and recommended payment for the
same.
AS the act of Congress under which he
took possession of the road and removed the
rails required the damage done to be ascer-
tanned and reported by commission of three
disinterested persons, the War Department
could not pay the bill as estimated by Chief
Engineer, SO after the case was heard in Ten
nessee courts, Congress was asked to allow a
credit on debt of Government against the
road. This bill passed the lower House, and
with hundreds of other claims failed to be con-
sidered by the Senate.
Now, THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE does not
claim to be expert in defining the OBJ
| legations of the Government, but with a
unanimous report from the Judiciary Com
mittee of the 4Sth Congress, and the favor
able report from the Committee on War
Claims in the 49th Congress, both favoring
the bill, the presumption is that the debt is
an honest one. But were the owners of the
road loyal men, or was this rebel claim
/
Every particle of evidence before Congress
goes to show that the owners of this road
in 1861 were loyal men; that their property
was destroyed by rebels for that reason
They were Union men, and those men who
in Tennessee and other Southern States up
held the flag in 1861, have the same rights
and are entitled to the same treatment that
was given men in Northern States, and the
Members of Congress who voted to pay
those men an honest debt should be com
mended and not reyiled.

THE GRANT MEMORIAL.

Comrades, remember that the 9th of
April is the day set for beginning the
work Of raising fundsfor the Grant Memorial
Let this be kept in mind, and not only the
comrades be reminded of it, but the public
Announcements should be put in all the
local papers Of what il is desired 10 do, and
the people urged TO contribute TO make the
work grand success.
If the matter is gone about in the right
way we shall have a monument OF other form
of testimonial that will not only be monu-
ment 10 Gen. Grant, but one TO our glorious
Order, which viii celebrate it TO future
generations as long as our country shall
endure.
Everything is now ripe for such project.
The people at large are in the humor for
contributing to such an object, the comrades
at large desire it, and the committee which
has charge Of the scheme is composed of as
jealous and capable men as there are in the
GAR
1t viii require but comparatively little
work on the part Of each Post TO make q
splendid success. An average of 80 cents
for each conrade would give us $4,000
which is ample for as grand testimonial "a
we desire TO raise.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will announce
all contributions. 1t ferVently hopes thai
il will have many columns of them after th,

OUR PROTECTION PLATFORM.

A comrade writes Us his disapprobation of
our advocacy of Protective Tariff, because
he believes that to be partisan" and there
fore out Of place in THE NATIONAL TRIB-
UNE. There is some justification for this
criticism.
We admit that while we are personally in
favor of Protective Tariff, this affords no
reason for advocating it in THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE
Our only motive now for doing it is be-
cause, for the present, Protective Tariff
and pension legislation are closely connect
ed. The Free Traders are opposed TO pen
sion legislation because that will make use
for the money derived from duties on i'm
ports. Their hopes for breaking down the
Tariff now rest upon demonstrating that the
Government cannot make use Of all the reve-
nue. il derives through the custom-houses,
and consequently the duties are an unneces-
sary tax upon the people. They have there
fore fought the Dependent Pension Bill
and similar measures with bitterness not
shown by any other class of opponents of
pension legislation. They have direct,
money-interest in this course, which no
other class has. The ex-Confederates are
not by any means so active and virulent as
the Free Traders Of New York, Boston, Bal
timore and other importing centers.
This is why THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
pays special attention to them. Had the
question of Protection or Free Trade nc
relation TO pension legislation, we would
not mingle in the fray, but We feel it our duty
TO Eight the enemies of soldiers, no matter
what banner they range themselves under.

bert Sidney Johnston, the ex-Confederate COM

knew in advance the kind Of poems she would
write. and have extended the invitation to her In

The Supralapsarians were those Calvinists
who believed that God knew and intended
from the first that man should fali, so as to
afford an opportunity for carrying out His

chosen TO save. The Infralapsarians, on the
other hand, held that God formed his scheme
